Tichenor took offense at my declining once before to see the interests of all our mutual friends in his promotion.

There are certain men appointed by the Doorkeeper of the Housei who are called permanent assistants ho hold their places all the year round, and last as long as the Doorkeeer's place lasts, but it will give the assistant all or part of the time between sessions.

The Register came out in a severe article on it, but that will do no harm. The truth is. General, you cannot be guided by a certain influsnoe here, and 1 tell you frankly that the less you consult Withrow and Dewey, the better. Palmer is all right himself, but' ye yield? too reaUly to Withrow. God knows i regard you and ad vise you as a friend whose Interests I study; while others here ' are governed by their own interest and not yours, in their advice and suggestions, and sooner or later"you will find this out and unUegs you are warned in time you will learn it to your sorrow. If you hearken to the advice and suggestions of those men you will op- :p0Be me f,or we differ widely. You can therefore choose for your self. I find them disagreeing with me in almost everything. You soug-t my wg.«»endation of a man for Supetintendent of the Court House, and I, in gqod faith, reoommended Whlttaker, and Palmer agreed with me in it, but Dewey and Withrow (wanting to till me off) got Palmer to unit* with them on Young, . ■ i HOW. 1 certainly think, that after asking me i. recommend a man you ought to have avided by my recommendation. Your failure to do " 3 '19 April, 1867. .ffWII ,XiT A ■'ifl T,is-, " - - - « f.,- ,. .«., ,,- so has placed me in a very emharrassing and disagreeable situation; « . • r I- • and I think farther, that it was certainly very disc urteous in these men to volunteer to try to head v^e off, after you had placed the matter in my hands, and they knew it, and let me assure you that I V ill make them regret it if it take a life time. The knew that Whittake'r did not vote for Tuttle , and they know furthermore that he was the best man, but they wanted to kill me in your influence, and to head me off from getting a pwer that I could control here, and which they foun' I might not use "dst asi .they might dictate. But let me assure you", that they will get theworst of the battle everytimc they cross swords with me. And if they think they can fix up another man for Congress against you, they ore fearfully mistaken. As God lives, I believe that their i^game has beento kill Kasson, then you, so as to make room for rn -q their "pe^" intending to stand by you next time, however, if .necessary to beat Kaeson, but not otherwise. * I had made up my mind to move to Council Bluffs, if you did ,«>t set me anything .atuaehlngton. but I have now about oonoluded to remain here and fight it ouft, as my friends are anxious 1 should J do, and I have thought some of making overtures to.Thompson when « I i Wi dj i -r he comee here. «« a about that cadetship to Naval Academy^?

Y. on the 22nd, Gcv.Smith being on hand, Mr. Ogden urged with ' all his persuasive force and influence, which you know is not small, that inasmuch as the Northern line was sure to be built, our Board had better favor it with a view to a shore in the traffic which would reach Chicago through the Minnesota connection, and I regret to say that he uucceeded in getting the Board to lend its sanction, • • though against the judgment of our soundest men, such as Lanier and Tilden. iir, Harbergh did all he could to resist it, as I should, had I been present. J. Edgar Thompson, also a member of our board, was, of course, influential in the same direction. Of course tether leading East and West lines north of the Fort Wayne, as well as^ ghe Baltimore and Ohio will favor the combination. And when the Southern members get fairly in their seats, I see not how this Log • ' 't f. rolling combination is to be defeated. 1 i ' ' " ' Mr, Ogden, whom.I met at Pittsburgh a few days ago, informed -ime that kr. Thompson told him,the Kansas line would diverge towards Santa fo, not going even to Denver. If this is so, Colorado and the min ng interest can look only to our line, and it wili be well to arrange for a pharter and for funds to build the branch. • . : Prom what is rumored of Indian difficulties, I appehend that parties will be hindered in their surveys and that '' Vo" Hill pi'o'laWT defer your reoonnolsanoe to Salt Lake.

Then if enginering operations must ' '> be suspendeii further west and the location to Salt Lake deferred to another year, no ^^elay of the work would result. But it may be that the ^ndian depredations <?ill quiet down. The survey and campaigns of various routes, if made under apprehension of Indian raids, will not be thoroughly made. - . •»-" Shall be glad to hear from you at Fort Wayne. 'erf j, L.

T ose who pushed it through may take their own way Of publishing it. I ought not to do It. It was not the deliberate < eti' judgment of the Board when all are present, and will amount to nothing. 1 named It to you that you might be forewarned. Br.

Brown to Gen. Dodge, Saint Louis, 29th. (Note) J, Teesdale to Gen. Dodge, Des aloines, 29th: ' An acquaintanceship extending back ten years (at least.four years before you knew that there was such a person as Geo. Tiohenor In existence, and s.ix years before'he-became a member of tbe Repub lican party) Justifies me in addressing- you. It is all the more fitting, because of the fact that I have'been charged with abandon ing my political party and voting against you. This charge has been made at Washington, as I have the authority o-f Senator Harlan for stating. By whom tlia charge was made, it n eods not that I should state. I presume that if you made it and sought to Justify, my re moval on that ground, you did so believing it. There can be no mistake as to your informant, and truth requires that I should state that he is a liar and slanderer, who cannot ever plead igno rance for his assassin-like traduction. A soldier ought to know .bow "to appreciate a men who thus stealthily stabs a neighbor. I am a member of your own political organisation, and have not swerved a moment in my allegiance.

My reaoval was detemined upon and the place pledged tq • J L 0 X another before election. Gen. Tuttle visited Washington to make the pledge good. He failed. I had been apointed for a second term, by the recommendation of nearly all the leading Republicans and business i^.en of Des koines. I have served but 15 ..onths since, my confirmation. The Tenure of Office bill had been passed. I had faithfully performed the duties of my office, and supposed that there would be no inclination to disturb me during my term, as no ^ cause for such disturbance would be alleged. It is true that, with three-fourths of the Republicans here, I had fqvored the re-nomina tion of Mr. Kasson, even before your name was connected with the canvass as well as after. But it was a choice between friends, which is not considered a political crime. My opposition ended with your nomination. I supported you in good faith. I did not suppose it necessary to fawn like a sypophant and tel^ of my services; I con fided in our old time friendship for due consideration and justice at your hands. While thus confiding, I am thrust from the office I hold, at your instigation, without the slighfest warning, withouy a hearing, without a petition ft«om a single soul in favor of my successor, without consultation of the community doing business at th9 office, and against the advice of' your own intimate friends. , ^ NOW I ask', sir.'with all-earnestness and plainness, is this night. t.'this just.- IB this What I had a right to expect from nr.t<nir .horn I "tts threatened with and expect an old friend, for eupportlne 4 4.

Mrs, Dodge to the* General, March 5, 1867. J foi : T. '• — i Today your letter from N.Y. Came, written soon after your arrival. . f f'J ••ll'mW, Reynolds to Gen. Dodge, Des Moines, 30th: ^ Hr. A. T. Hall has been appointed Asbt. General Su|). of this road, vice G. h. Beardsley, and some changes may be 1 made in subordinate positions along the line, to suit the wishes- ^ of'the new incumbent. I do not know that I will be interfered with As I think Mr. Tracy, Gen], ^pt, Mr. Cook, Secy, and Mr. Viele, Gen. Ft. Agt, are friends to be depended upn. Mb, Hall.may, how- "^Vv'eri make changes without the knowledge of Mr. Tracy.' SlJsOif T informed by a Mr. Brown (Fatty they call litm) has" X ha 'istf Mr# Aril, 1867. and is now Travelling Agant for the N.Y'.R.R. that Mr, Hall ex pressed a desire to have him (Brown) come out to take charge of our affairs here. I presume it was done through Brown's pcrsisten cy, as he, I understand, will probably be dispensed with on the N. P. R. soon, and he wants this point badly. I resigned my position in Washington City to accept thi?, on aondition that when the road got here I was to have charge of this point, if I wished it, at a reasonable salary. This Brown, considering his ignorance, • • will need more salary than I, and he ma get the appointment, but as I have stood the brunt of the battle so far, I should like the * control of matters here under more favorable circumstances. In ydars gone by I have worked hard for this company (from 1856 to 1861) and flatter mycelf that I understand the duties which pertain to an agency or station as well as any one they might put here, and my acquaintance has been extended considerably since my return here, -r:? I would now, in view of these facts, respectfully ask your kind aid and powerflkl influence by giving me a letter to Mr. John T. Tracy, President and Genl. Supt., and if possible laying the matter before him personally, and referring to the question of salary, which is little enough at $135 per month; Brown wants $180. I have let-ters of recommendation lying in Mr. Tracy''s office : rom Hon. fiPrice, J. W. primes. J. B.. r^rinnel, W. B. Allison, S. J. Kirkwood, S C Pomeroy, Jos. S. Wilson, Genls. ^ *.

Hnyt' Sherman made special trip to Washington in his behalf, so I am told, I presume that Ur. Brown will not be the only applicant for this position.

Your favor of the 5th of March enclosing note to Mr. Snyder; for passes was received yesterday. Accept my sincere thanks for the favor.
